organise my photos Tag

Recently someone contacted me to discuss how I could help them with their photo collection. They mentioned that they had just been on a 3 week holiday and had come home with 18,000 (yes thousand) photos from that trip. On hearing that number I knew instinctively that was too many!! Too many to store, too many to use and too many to enjoy. Surely this kind of digital photo overload could only be a burden. Just thinking about that number made me tired. So, I started to ponder and research how can I help highlight the importance of taking fewer photos.

Recently we took the kids to an event called Obstacool as a family fun day out.  Given it had been raining solidly for over a week I knew it was going to be a very muddy affair.  With this in mind I decided to take our point and shoot camera (with a wrist strap) instead of juggling my phone for photos.  If I am honest with myself I didn’t want to put my phone at risk of damage and determined that the camera could take one for the team if damages were to occur.
